Poll Worker Tracker
Every year, millions of Ohioans make their voices heard by voting in Ohio elections. Poll workers play a vital role in ensuring that these elections
are secure and accessible. By fulfilling this responsibility, they help maintain the traditions of our past and foster our hope for the future.
To continue providing voters with unprecedented levels of transparency, Secretary of State Frank LaRose is offering Ohioans regular updates on poll worker recruitment as we approach the November 3, 2026, general election. Below is a breakdown of poll workers still needed, as determined by each county board of elections. The data in this table is updated periodically, so please note the "last updated" date.
The "minimum number of poll workers needed" represents the essential number required to conduct an election in each county. The "goal" column indicates the target number of poll workers counties should recruit and train in order to compensate for any cancellations or no-shows. According to state law, the board of elections appoints, by a majority vote, four electors for each precinct who are residents of the county in which the precinct is located to serve as poll workers. No more than one-half of the total number of poll workers assigned to a precinct may be members of the same political party. Ohioans who are neither a Republican nor Democrat may also serve as poll workers. Those individuals are recorded below in the "other" category.
